Customize the [placeholder text].
Add additional context to help your team understand how and why you're adopting Slack.
Remove any content that isn't relevant for your team.
Send the email to your team and ask them to reply with questions or comments in Slack!
Email template
Hi team,
As some of you know, we’re moving to Slack for our internal team communications. Slack is a messaging app where we can talk, share files, and work together. It also connects with tools we already use, like [add your examples here], plus thousands of other apps.
Why we're moving to Slack
We want to use the best communication tools to make our lives easier and be more productive. Having everything in one place will help us work together better and faster, rather than jumping around between emails, IMs, texts, and a bunch of other programs. Everything you share in Slack is automatically indexed, creating a searchable archive of all our work.
How to get started
Step 1: Visit [Slack URL] and sign up with your work email.
Step 2:Download the Slack apps for desktop and mobile.
We encourage you to spend some time exploring Slack on your own. If you have questions about our Slack workspace, please post in the [#slack-help or another appropriate channel] channel in Slack or send an email to [your email address here]. If you have general questions about Slack, their Help Center is a great resource.
[Fill in with any other next steps if applicable.]
